How to have a successful blind date

Don't have any expectations. That is the key to having a successful blind date. I have been on several blind dates and I think I can only say that one of them was bad. None of them have lead to any romantic relationship, but I have had fun on all of them.

People always wander about blind dates and if they are even worth it. They are. You really have no idea where they will lead up to. The worst thing that could happen is that it dosen't work out and you have a really good bad dating story. You could make a future friend. You could set them up with someone you know. You could date them. You could end up marrying them. Why not just do it because there really is no bad consequences from going on a blind date.

Everyone loves blind date stories so just go on that blind date and have the time of your life.

Now, here is a important question, how do you respond to the friend who set you up with the guy and thinks that you would be perfect for each other? Sometimes, you go out with them and wonder...why, did you think that we would be good together? There was no connection and it was just awkward silence the whole date. Do you really know who I am? Or, maybe your friend knows you and has good insight into who you should marry. So, approach them and just say how the date went. If it didn't go well, just say it was a good story but it probably has no dating potential.

So, like I already said. Get rid of your expectations. Go have fun. Be surprised of how unfit or fit you are for your blind date.

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Recent Changes

So, I haven't written in here for a long time. I thought I might write about recent events in my life. My winter break was fantastic and really long. I am not used to having a month long break so I didn't know what to do with myself. The first part of my break, right after finals, I spent way too much time watching Netflix. I would just lay there in my pajamas and enjoy doing nothing. When you are really busy, it is nice to do nothing at some point. After getting bored of doing nothing, my brother came home for Christmas time. We had lots of family time just talking, playing games and catching up. I experienced one of the most beautiful days in San Francisco. We went hiking in Marine County and looked over all the bay. It was absolutely stunning and brought a lot of new perspective. I love being outdoors because the perspective from nature reminds me of God's love for us. I had a friend from BYU visit for New Years Eve week. I have told her all about my hometown and ...
